About Breezy: Breezy Johnson is a born-and-raised Jackson Hole skier and is now on the U.S. Ski Team; she is quickly becoming one of the most-talked-about American downhillers on the World Cup circuit. Breezy started skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort at the age of 5 and raced for the Jackson Hole Ski Club until she was 13. She attended the Rowmark Academy in Salt Lake for high school, and upon graduation landed a spot on the U.S. Development Team in 2014, and she hasn't looked back since. She has quickly moved up the ranks the last two winters, and she even won the U.S. National downhill title in Aspen at the end of last season. Jackson Hole is proud to support Breezy as she charges toward the 2018 World Cup circuit.
